Day 1645

I woke up about 8, did some game playing, and then got up.  After pet stuff and breakfast it was start the wash.  Ellen had a doctor's appointment at 11:30, so it was kill time until it was time to leave.

The appointment was with the asshole doctor.  He's always running behind schedule.  I played games in the truck, so I'm not sure how long it was until Ellen came out.  It was a goodly amount of time.

After that we went to Covert.  They had sent us an email about a $100 gift certificate.  Unfortunately the offer had expired.  I asked service about the satellite radio turning off.  They didn't have a clue.  I ordered some tailgate lights for the truck.  I don't need them, but they look cool.

We stopped at Rudy's for lunch.  I was tired of eating ham for sandwiches.  On the way home it was the post office and HEB for bananas.

When I got home I decided to put the 7 gallons of diesel I bought at the start of the bullshit in the truck.  The spout for the can is moronic.  It's spring loaded with a "safety".  You have to hook the spout on the rim of the filler tube, press the safety, and then compress the spout against a strong spring.  Not doable with a heavy tank.  I used the spout from an old tank instead.

When I was finished I did surgery on the extra spout I purchased by mistake.  I removed the spring.  I also cut off the bullshit tab that keeps you from unscrewing the cap.  It's not a complete fix, but at least the spout is semi-usable.

Due to the 85 degree, 95% humidity I was soaked with sweat when I was done.  So I took a shower.  Then I fixed the frozen lasagna for dinner.  I surfed and read while it was cooking.  I also went out and got the new RV locks.  I was really happy to find that they had the right key number.  Someone at the manufacturer is on the ball.

After dinner I went out to the trailer to do the preliminary work for the new locks.  I drilled out the pop rivets on the old locks.  I also programmed the new fobs to work with the currently installed locks.  By then it was too dark to do more.

After that it was more surfing and a little reading.
